CMAS Swimsuit QR Code Regulation Update - Finswimmer Magazine

The CMAS Sports Committee has announced a significant update regarding swimsuit regulations for finswimming competitions. Effective January 1, 2024, athletes participating in CMAS events using Jaked swimsuits must ensure their suits feature an integrated QR code.

This requirement will expand starting January 1, 2025, making the QR code mandatory on all swimsuits used in CMAS international competitions. Federations are urged to verify compliance to avoid disqualification during Technical Meetings or Call Room inspections.

Athletes with swimsuits purchased in 2024 without a QR code should contact their suppliers, as all vendors have been informed of this rule. Federations must communicate this regulation to their members to ensure seamless participation in future events.

For further details or assistance, federations can reach out to the CMAS Sports Committee.

This measure aims to standardize equipment and maintain fairness across all CMAS finswimming events.
